So this came up last night. After reading the rules it states assign an action, and make your break away roll. Is this any type of action? For example, assign a power action for running shot, make your break away roll, and if successful, do your running shot business as usual?

Always assumed the action was to get away and do nothing else, but there I go assuming?

You can use charge or running shot but you have to declare it before attempting to break away. If the roll fails you can't use the power.

Yes, you can assign your figure any action which allows that character to move, then roll for Break Away.

Charge and Running Shot are both common non-move actions which may require a Break Away roll.

There is no break away action.

Break away happens when a character adjacent to an opponent is given an action that includes movement. This covers normal move actions and any power that allows the character to move.

EDIT: And remember to declare your action before rolling for break away.

OK thanks everyone...Now I can stop learning today. LOL!
